So you fancy yourself a bit of a comedian, with your finger dead on the pulse of the zeitgeist. Marriage equality feels like a rich vein to mine. You could go for gay crime sprees or legalising incest or big gay rainbows or marrying pets. There's rich pickings, let's be honest.

The narrow-minded hate mongering continues. Boring, unimaginative, vicious. Someday Tui, your billboards are going to feature in a museum of ridiculous memorabilia of past bigotries. People will wonder "how on earth did these keep getting made?" "What were beer drinkers thinking?"

I had a relationship, a long time ago, with a woman with two children. This is the song those kids played whenever they wanted a way to jump up and down against the homophobia they wrestled with from people around them. It's the anti-Tui.

ZenTiger - Colin Craig is frequently hilarious, despite, I suspect, not meaning to be. So I was slightly tongue-in-cheek.Objecting to the clearly satirical piece - and actually suing for $500 when he is ridiculously rich - is quite frankly absurd.We don't need to invent Colin Craig being homophobic, he does that all by himself whenever he talks about sexuality.That's what I was saying.

It's a pity that people need to invent things about what he says if he can do that all by himself. (Although I don't mean the satirical piece, I mean a fair amount of the other stuff that follows with people making even more stuff up about what he might also say.) It makes me wonder if people need to make sh*t up just to ensure they reinforce the homophobic meme.

On the other hand, I thought the request for $500 was just his little joke, but people can get so precious about money, they often fail to see the funny side.

Hey last Anonymous, see our comments policy if you want to comment again please.But speaking, as I always do, on behalf of The Left, I will say this. Strikes me here it's Tui that's defending a position. The position of letting us all know what is "normal" and what is not.
